I believe that snowball uses porter stemming algorthim.
The Snowball stemmer came from Porter, yes. There was a looser
stemming algorithm prior to Snowball though, which the
PorterStemFilter uses.
Anyway....
Is there is any
other alternative for snowball.Because I want stemmer which supports
multilingualism.
Multi-lingual stemming is one of the most complex topics I've
personally come across. It is not a generalizable thing - each
language is unique and you'd need to have the language known for each
word being stemmed. As far as I know, this is still practically an
impossible task with existing technology. If you come across
something good in this area, please share :)
There are other stemming algorithms, K-Stem is one I've heard of but
don't know anything about currently.
Please help me in configuring lucene step by step in my systemI have
